INTRO: A G D A G D A
A G D
Got out of town on a boat goin' to southern islands
A G D A
sailing a reach before a following sea
G D
she was making for the trades on the outside
A G D A
and the downhill run to Pape-ete
G D
Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas
A G D A
we got eighty feet of a waterline nicley making way
G D
in a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
A G
but on the midnight shift I realized
D Bm A
why twice you ran away
G D G A
CHORUS: Think about how many times I have fallen
G D G A
spirits are usin' me larger voices callin'
G D G A
what heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
D G A D G A
I have been around the world looking for that woman girl
D G A INTRO
who knows love can endure and you know it will
A G D
When you see the southern cross for the first time
A G D A
you understand now why you came this way
A G D
'cause the truth you might be running from is so small
A G D Bm A
but it's as big as the promise the promise of a comin' day
A G D
So I'm sailin' for tomorrow my dreams are a dyin'
A G
and my love is an anchor tied to you
D A
tied with a silver chain
G D
I have my ship and all her flags are a flyin'
A G D Bm A
she is all that I have left and music is her name
REPEAT CHORUS
A G D
So we cheated and we lied and we tested
A G D
and we never failed to fail it was the easiest
A G D
thing to do you will survive being bested
A G D
somebody fine will come a long make me forget
Bm A A G D A G D
about lovin' you in the southern cross
